Nomadic Keto Kitchen
THE WORLD CAN’T HANDLE ME WITHOUT COFFEE, KETO COFFEE..
I HAVE BEEN A COFFEE ADDICT FOR DECADES:
WHILE ON A RUN TO THE OREGON COAST A FEW YEARS BACK I WAS TALKING TO A FRIEND WHO TOLD ME ABOUT BULLET PROOF COFFEE AND HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS. I THOUGHT SHE WAS BAT SHIT CRAZY PUTTING BUTTER IN HER COFFEE, BUT WHAT THE HELL “TO EACH HER OWN”.
MY FRIEND CONVINCED ME TO AT LEAST READ THE ARTICLE BY DAVE ASPREY, HOW HE CAME ABOUT YAK BUTTER IN HOT TEA AFTER HIKING IN SOME REMOTE LOCATION AND HOW HE CREATED BULLET PROOF COFFEE.
AFTER READING THE ARTICLE, I WAS INTRIGUED TO SAY THE LEAST. SO I JUMPED ON AMAZON AND ORDERED MY BULLET PROOF MCT OIL.
BY THE TIME I GOT HOME FROM MY RUN IT WAS WAITING FOR ME ON MY DOOR STEP (ONE OF THINGS I LOVE ABOUT AMAZON).
AT THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN LIVING A KETO LIFESTYLE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND WAS SOAKING IN AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I COULD GET MY HANDS ON. I THOUGHT WHAT THE HELL, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF RESEARCH, RIGHT?
COFFEE IS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE, WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING I BEGIN TO CRAVE IT, SO MESSING WITH MY ROUTINE WAS A HURDLE BUT ONE I AM GLAD I JUMPED.
I TRIED THE BULLET PROOF MCT OIL AND KERRYGOLD BUTTER AND IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD YUMMY.
HOWEVER, MY TUMMY DIDN’T LIKE THE BULLET PROOF MCT OIL. THE PROBLEM WAS I LOVED THE FLAVOR, SO I TWEAKED THE INGREDIENTS TO WORK FOR ME.
I START WITH THE BEST COFFEE POT EVER TO BREW MY COFFEEÂ Â https://amzn.to/2OasuVW
HOW IT WORKS IS INGENIOUS, THE WATER IN THE TANK IS KEPT AT THE OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE FOR BREWING THE PERFECT POT OF COFFEE.
THEN I USE 100% MCT OIL, KERRYGOLD BUTTER AND SWEETLEAF SWEETENER.
AFTER ADDING THE MCT OIL AND KERRYGOLD BUTTER, I FROTH IT TO A FLUFFING FOAM ON TOP WITH A BATTERY OPERATED FROTHER https://amzn.to/2A51apk
THIS IS WHERE I TATTLE TAIL ON MYSELF, I BREAK THE BULLET PROOF COFFEE RULES EVEN FURTHER BY ADDING HEAVY CREAM .
THEN I FROTH A LITTLE MORE AND ITS HEAVEN IN A CUP..
I LOOK FORWARD TO MY COFFEE EACH AND EVERY MORNING

Most of my adult life I have been self-employed as a General Engineering Contractor. Three and a half years ago after the housing market crash I began driving a truck Long Haul. I have worked my way up in seniority and for the last year have had a dedicated run to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
With the exception of missing my family, my husband and son, I love my job.
There are several reasons why I love my job. One is it’s similar to being self-employed. When I leave the yard in Woodland, CA, I am on my own. I don’t have a manager who micromanages my every move. But I think the main reasons why I love my job, is I get a taste of the nomadic life and the view out my windshield. I drive an average of 3500 miles a week, through all types of road and weather conditions but the view is always fabulous.
I’m not the typical truck driver, I don’t like parking at truck stops. In my opinion, truck stops are for fuel and showers and for the most part, that is it.
I have been boondocking for the better part of three and a half years in a 75 foot truck and trailer.
Prior to my dedicated run I basically went wherever my company needed me to go in the 11 western States and two western providence of Canada.Â

Most truck drivers at the end of their shift will park at a truck stop stacked in like cord wood. Over the last three and a half years I have been very successful Boondocking my 75 foot truck and trailer.
With a dedicated run, you get to know the variations of the route you can take depending on the weather. In doing so I have found some favorite Boondocking locations. One is on the Missouri River near Craig, Montana. Then there is Craters of the Moon in Idaho and overlooking the Snake River in Twin Falls, Idaho.
During this time I have also located several dump facilities along I-80 in the state of Nevada. All of them are free with great access for all types and sizes of rigs. My favorite dump facility (if you can have a favorite dump facility) is at the Cosgrave, Nevada rest area at Exit 158.Â
When I’m not boondocking at a Scenic pull out, I often stay at rest areas. Most of the rest areas along I-15 in Montana have individual restrooms and some like the the rest area in Conrad, Montana have free Wi-fi.
All of the rest areas in Montana are beautifully manicured and are park-like settings very similar to state parks.
I view this job as a researcher/ adventurer stepping stone for when I am a full-time nomadic traveling the US by RV hauling our bikes with my husband when we retire.

I’M BACK….
We are back…Â
It’s been a long time since I have published my thoughts or stories.
 Just a little recap of where I have been and what kind of trouble I have been into. As you can see, I still like to monkey around but sadly not much trouble these days.
I have been working just too much, traveling all over the western United States and Canada to have the TROUBLE kind of fun.
Last year (Dec 2015) my company “Truck Accessories Group”  got all of the drivers new trucks and so far my little road partner “Roo” and I have put on over 200,000 miles.  I now have a dedicated run to Edmonton, AB, CA. Delivering Leer Canopies and Truck Accessories.  With the occasional fun run,  like the one I am currently on to Elkhart, IN.Â
With all this work and travels, I have still managed to get some rides in, which I will share in the not too distant future.
On the bike front, I’m still riding bitch on the beauty above. Â Not to worry, I have my eye on a mini-me of “Big Blue” (yes, I name all of our bikes), just slightly newer. I will also install a quick disconnect for the trunk and change out the seat to a one up for a sleeker, sexier look.
Also, I have completely given myself a nutritional overhaul.
For the last three and a half years I have been following a Ketogenic lifestyle. Yeah I know, I don’t really like the term “lifestyle” when describing your nutritional habits, but here I am using it just the same. And really its the best term for it and how I go about it.
I’m an all in, jump head long into it, kind of person.
When I shared with you the details of wrecking “Scarlett” and published the photo’s of the black and blue bruises, the thing that kept coming back to me when I looked at the photo’s wasn’t the bruises, or how jacked internally my body was, it was how FAT I was (along with some other motivators, which will be in a story called “My Journey” I will publish very soon). Â
So, I made some minor changes to my food and the weight came off and I was back to my fighting weight. Then I found out what I was doing actually had a name, Ketogenics. This is where I’m all in, jump head long into it, slightly obsessive…
I have researched Ketogenics from all kinds of resources from the simple DIY informational blogs, vlogs and YouTube’s, to Medical Doctors and PhD Professor/ researchers. It all boils down to this, the fuel you put into your body is as important as the air you breathe.Â
During this time of research and transforming my body not just how it looks but how it functions, I have had to be creative to follow this (here comes again) “LIFESTYLE”      Traveling by Motorcycle, RV and Big Rig.   Keto On The Go
I have some great rides, runs and Keto tips I will be sharing very soon.
It’s good to be back…… Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
